Use the Network Scanner

Updated August 2026

You'll learn how to: Sweep your existing network to find high-fit contacts you've gone cold on, plus surface fresh outreach opportunities.

Time: 30 seconds to start. Results in 2-10 minutes.

Prereqs: You have ICPs configured (Configure an ICP). Your network has data sources connected (Chrome extension + LinkedIn captures, email, calendar).

What the scanner does

The Network Scanner runs three passes over your existing network:

ICP fit re-score: re-evaluates every contact against your current priority ICPs. Catches people whose profile, company, or signal evidence improved since their last score.
Engagement gap detection: surfaces high-fit contacts you haven't touched in too long (typically 60+ days for top-priority, 90+ for secondary).
Signal aggregation: pulls in any LinkedIn activity, job changes, or company news from the last 30 days for ICP-matching contacts.

The output is a ranked list of "people worth reaching out to, sorted by likely value".

Steps

In the left sidebar, click Nurture (title "Your Rhythms").
Find the Sort action or a Scanner card in your network view.
Click Run scan (or Scanner).

A progress indicator shows the scan running. Typical scan on 1,000 contacts takes 2-5 minutes.
When complete, results appear as a sortable list:
- Name + photo + title + company.
- ICP fit score with the matched ICP labelled.
- Last touched date.
- Fresh signals (if any in the last 30 days).
- Suggested next action.

Action the list

Each row has inline actions:

Send email (compose pre-filled with their address).
Add to rhythm if they're not already in one.
Add to campaign if you have an active sequence for this ICP.
Mark actioned / dismiss for rows you've handled or want to ignore.

The fastest pattern: scroll through the top 10-20 results, action each, then close.

Schedule recurring scans

If your plan supports it, the Scanner can run on a schedule:

Open the Scanner config.
Pick Daily, Weekly, or Monthly.
A scheduled scan produces a digest emailed to you on the chosen cadence.

Useful for staying on top of network drift without manually running.

What it won't find

New contacts (people not yet in your Nynch network). For those, use the Prospect Finder.
Contacts blocked / blacklisted.
Contacts in workspace-shared sharing policy that you don't own (unless you have visibility).

If something goes wrong

Symptom: "Network Scanner card isn't there." → Fix: Your plan may not include it. Check avatar > Settings > Account.
Symptom: "Scan completes but the list is empty." → Fix: Either you have no ICPs (set one in Strategy mode), or your network is too small for the scanner to find gaps. Try after adding more contacts.
Symptom: "All results have low ICP scores." → Fix: Your network doesn't match your current ICPs well. Either expand the ICPs or focus on Prospect Finder for net-new high-fit contacts.
Symptom: "Same contacts keep appearing in scan after scan." → Fix: You haven't actioned them. Either reach out or dismiss. dismissed contacts won't reappear.
